<div class="block">The ParseCloud class defines provides methods for interacting with Parse Cloud Functions. A Cloud
 Function can be called with <a href="../../com/parse/ParseCloud.html#callFunctionInBackground(java.lang.String, java.util.Map, com.parse.FunctionCallback)"><code>ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground(String, Map, FunctionCallback)</code></a>
 using a <a href="../../com/parse/FunctionCallback.html" title="class in com.parse"><code>FunctionCallback</code></a>. For example, this sample code calls the "validateGame" Cloud
 Function and calls processResponse if the call succeeded and handleError if it failed.
 
 <pre>
 ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground("validateGame", parameters, new FunctionCallback<Object>() {
      public void done(Object object, ParseException e) {
        if (e == null) {
          processResponse(object);
        } else {
          handleError();
        }
      }
 }
 </pre>
 
 Using the callback methods is usually preferred because the network operation will not block the
 calling thread. However, in some cases it may be easier to use the
 <a href="../../com/parse/ParseCloud.html#callFunction(java.lang.String, java.util.Map)"><code>ParseCloud.callFunction(String, Map)</code></a> call which do block the calling thread. For example, if your
 application has already spawned a background task to perform work, that background task could use
 the blocking calls and avoid the code complexity of callbacks.</div>
